TUSCALOOSA _ Individual drills began with junior defensive end Quinton Dial lined up next to senior nose tackle Josh Chapman and junior defensive end Damion Square as the University of Alabama football team opened a two-a-day Monday morning in cool conditions.
Junior defensive end Quinton Dial is making a major push for playing time.
Regardless of whether he lands a starting job, the junior-college transfer has made a major push this fall to be part of the rotation. While playing nose guard for East Mississippi Community College he was in on 76 tackles and 3½ sacks last season.
Sophomore cornerback Dee Milliner was at practice after Coach Nick Saban said he “Got a laceration and a little ding,” from a shot to the chin during Saturday’s scrimmage. Outside of the quarterbacks, no one was in a black no-contact jersey.
Junior linebacker Dont’a Hightower continued to work with his left hand heavily wrapped after having a procedure to repair a small fracture last Thursday. True freshman offensive lineman Ryan Kelly returned to practice after missing most of last week due to a concussion.
Redshirt freshman Blake Sims did not warm up with the quarterbacks but instead went through individual drills with the running backs. True freshman Christion Jones was practicing with the wide receivers after spending most of last week at running back.
Junior-college transfer Duron Carter has yet to be cleared academically.
Junior Barrett Jones was back at left tackle and backed up by true freshman Cyrus Kouandijo.
Alabama will practice again at 7:30 tonight, and at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. All practices are closed to the public.
